Jean-Alain Boumsong's first league goal in almost two years set Olympique Lyonnais on their way to a 3-0 win at Le Mans UC 72 and a three-point lead over FC Girondins de Bordeaux at the Ligue 1 summit.
Benzema double
The centre-back had not scored since 27 April 2007 while playing for Juventus in Serie B but took just 18 minutes to correct that statistic at Stade Léon-Bollée. Karim Benzema then struck twice in 13 minutes either side of half-time for his 13th and 14th league goals of the season to leave Olympique de Marseille needing a win at strugglers AS Saint-Etienne on Sunday in order to reduce the lead back to one point.
Late winner
Third at kick-off, FC Girondins de Bordeaux moved above Marseille into second but needed a 90th-minute goal from Marouane Chamakh to defeat ten-man AS Nancy-Lorraine 1-0 at home. Fellow challengers Toulouse FC lost ground on Lyon, though, with a goalless draw at second-bottom SM Caen in the late game and sit two points adrift of LOSC Lille Métropole, who moved above the southern side into fourth following a 2-0 success at FC Nantes. Michel Bastos's 45th-minute penalty set them on their way before Róbert Vittek (57) secured a fourth successive league victory. UEFA Cup contenders Paris Saint-Germain FC will go level on points with Lille, and within four of Lyon, if they beat OGC Nice on Sunday.
Sambou strike
At the bottom, Massamba Lô Sambou (75), on loan from AS Monaco FC, scored the winner against his parent club as Le Havre AC won 1-0 at Stade Louis II but they remain eight points adrift of safety. Elsewhere, Jean-Claude Darcheville scored both goals for Valenciennes FC in a 2-0 home triumph against AJ Auxerre, while FC Lorient won 3-1 at Grenoble Foot 38.
